Thanks for sharing your feedback!
Each instance of the Skylight sensor: control provides access to two storage disks that are used to hold various types of data:
config: A low-access rate disk containing configuration data, as well as the active and rollback firmware suites for all remote devices. The data on this disk has a long lifespan.
store: A high-performance disk containing temporary files, performance-monitoring data, historical data, and statistics. The data on this disk has a short-to-medium lifespan.
Note: Config partition cannot be resized in a single disk.
This topic provides instructions on how to safely manage the size allocated by the system to these storage disks.
